The investment in diamonds currently serves a niche market.
 
Diamonds are an ideal store of value due to them being very stable against market fluctuations. In particular, there is no correlation between the stable property value of diamonds and the development of stock prices and other public traded securities.  This makes the investment in diamonds attractive during times of crisis.

Diamonds are not regulated by the commodities market, but are subject to specific criteria, in particular with regard to their pricing. In addition, they have, unlike other tangible assets a high mobility value, since they may be easily transferred from one location to another due to their low volume.

Another advantage of investing in diamonds is their lasting value. Because they are unique, just like gold, oil and coal, as the raw materials supply is not infinite.  In this respect they also provide a hedge against inflation.

Diamonds can be converted worldwide, as they are equally valued and recognised internationally.

What makes diamonds such a good investment:
•    Diamonds are subject to other aspects of tax, where special rules apply.
•    Diamonds are a stable asset value that are not subject to strong fluctuations on the stock exchanges and other markets.
•    Diamonds have a very high mobility value.
•    Diamond prices have steadily risen over the centuries.
•    Diamonds are unique, the raw material supply is not infinite.
•    Diamonds are traded in its own market segment and are subject to unit pricing.
•    Diamonds can be re-processed as jewellery as well as an investment, because they are stable in value
•    Large and clean stones are very rare (95% of all diamonds have inclusions and colour).
